ABOUT US

The ALLICE Collective is dedicated to enhancing the mental and emotional well-being of underserved communities by addressing one of the most vital, yet often overlooked, aspects of health—connection. We believe that thriving individuals and families are built on the foundation of strong, supportive relationships.

Our work begins with creating accessible spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued. Through free support groups, innovative youth programs, and affordable counseling services, we help individuals build the tools they need to navigate challenges and grow stronger together. These services are not just about addressing immediate needs—they are about creating lasting change by fostering the kind of community support that leads to resilience, belonging, and empowerment.

For individuals facing systemic barriers to care, our programs fill critical gaps, meeting people where they are and offering resources that honor their lived experiences. From youth learning to build confidence and connection to adults navigating the complexities of relationships and mental health, our approach is grounded in cultural relevance and the belief that community is a powerful catalyst for healing.

The ALLICE Collective stands as a bridge for those seeking both support and strength, offering more than just services—we provide a pathway to better mental health through connection, understanding, and shared purpose.
